I'm pretty sure the is called Swing Guitars. Django recorded a few different versions of this song, including a versions for big band and for electric jazz guitar, from the mid 30's to mid 40's.
The one your after, assuming you want the traditional HCOF sound, is the recording from 1936-37 era. This version is found on quite a few cds. Just to name a few, I found it on:
Le Hotclub of France v3
Django Reinhardt Integrale v5
Django Reinhardt The gold collection

C'est extraordinaire de pouvoir visionner ces quelques secondes pendant lesquelles Django est visible, on voit quelle était son attitude pendant les chorus de grapelly, il bouge, accompagne, pas du tout le 'melon'...

I've been looking up and down for it, too. I'll let you know if I find it.

I've only just discovered the awesomeness of Django. Can anyone tell me the name of the piece in this clip? I have to go find the full version.

:lol: I couldn't imagine who/what you're getting at ;-) But he is good!
I've heard John J. playing at sessions in Samois a few times, and bought a CD of him playing both gypsy guitar and clarinet the night of the LA gig I mentioned, so you can imagine how disappointed I was to find him in Elton John Band mode that night...

Thank you again for clarification. Chris Seiblod is a good guitarist and a humble man who is not on a ego trip. He is an very good accompanist. You should hear them do "Nuages" John Jorgenson Quintet was a the 07 Clearwater Festival. They were pretty good and very respectful of the music.

The National that Chris Seibold plays with Howard Levy is a single-cone type, similar to the one in this clip. Oscar Aleman played the more expensive tri-cone model, and I'd love to have been there when he was jamming with Django in Paris...
The best National player I ever heard live is Bob Brozman, who plays both single and tri-cone models. That same night (in LA) I also heard John Jorgenson, but he was playing rock with Davey Johnstone at the time, not gypsy jazz, and I wasn't impressed. |
